[QUOTE="MNBuck, post: 1099882, member: 91217"] So, just a refresher. I am running a vortex optics crossfire II 3-9x40 with the dead hold BDC reticle. I told my local gun store to instal bases and rings to the gun. They also boresighted it. They told me they applied blue locktite to the mounts but not on any of the screws on the rings. I will check tightness on the screws if I can find a stupid star bit for the screwdriver!! Then, if tight idk what to do. I have taken off the stock from the receiver. When I replaced I applied pressure on the barrel pushing the recoil back to hopefully be properly seated. I then tightened the two action screws to 30 in lbs and tighter the stock screw to firm tight. Hopefully this helps. After all this I'm going to try trophy coppers, dual bonds and partition golds. If none of those come close I'm going to send the gun back and hopefully get it back soon enough to re-sight it in before deer season. If they claim it's nothing well I guess I'm going to either try 3" loads or just have someone else shoot and see how much better they can do compared to me to see if it is just myself. If those don't work im not going to invest more because I will honestly have close to $1000 into it. And will be most likely selling it. [/QUOTE]
